When I go to meets and big events and still don't see any. Sometimes 2-3. I'd figured I'd see a lot of them but. Maybe like most of you guys said. It's New York.
thats it! and it is most people who buy the Z keep it all under storage and ish or have it as a weekend car. in other words you dont see many of them out. Atleast in the NE/our parts.

but thats why I love it, its unique and not many people have one the "exclusivity" you get from driving one is the best part!

Same, as long as there isn't snow on the ground I'm driving the Z. I bought this thing to drive and not stare at in my garage. This ain't an Aston Martin or Lambo we're talking about. With that said I can count on 1 hand how many 370Zs I see in a year. At least in my area they are not as popular as the 350 was.

yes lots more 350z, I drove from Atlanta to Ft Bragg, NC, and I kept track of the 350z and 370z. (i285 to i20 to i95)

350z - 8,
370z - 0

But that does not surprise me, as people are saying, more 350's were made/sold than 370s

i will disagree i think the Z is becoming a rare car. i live in an area with around 175,000 population with 2 nissan dealers and they each had 2 370's on their lots. the z like the corvette though not in the same class, appeal to just a certain group of drivers. that's just the way it is. just my 2 cents imho if the next z isn't a smash. there could be another 5 or 6 year layoff of production.

two things imo again on the next model they have to nail is road noise and
more HP.........just saying

To be honest, I'm usually pretty busy. I'd really like to go to these meets, but other things in life have priority for me. If its outside Long Island, it means spending a whole day I usually don't have. I drive my Z year round, weather permitting and I see plenty on long island. Although I know a few that have since sold their car, there are still plenty of enthusiast if you look hard enough. It was always kind of tough getting people together, especially when I joined the forum a few years ago.

Rarity is a good thing to me.

Though I just got mine, I'm sure there are a lot that show up at the weekend meets on the other side of town. There's a "show" every weekend and all types stop by.

there are way too many Z's around where I live. 2-3 more within a 30 mile radius is too much.

I wish I had the only one in the province.

oh well at least mine is the sexiest.

i take great pride in knowing that my Z is a rarity. a select few, a privilege to see on the road. if you want to meet up with other Z's around your area, check out regional section of the forum

I find pride knowing that owning a Z only caters to select few. Which means it will hold its value in the long run.

I see a lot of Muscle cars around here...Hey Im in the USA right?.
